  Version 0.9 on 05/4/2002

 - Added UC Chains restrictions (due to the colaboration of Shinji_Ikari).
 - Fixed some mistakes (Yes, my not so human stupidity is at it again).

 This guide must be only found in:

   - www.gamefaqs.com

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Why:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
 + Note that in the current release; this guide will might be of no use
   to an expert or an average player of Anhell; this version will only
   help the begginer player; one that has no knowledge of the character
   what so ever.

 Needless to say; is that Angel (pronunced as Annhell) is a new 
character of the King of Fighters '2001 game that has been released
by SNK & Eolith; I found out is actually somewhat difficult to get a
grip of this gal; thus I have vowed to perform this guide in order to
help players with some of her basic features, I am far from being an
expert with her... I have only played with her a couple of times yet
I kind of learned how did her chain system worked and how some of her 
moves worked... and I thought that Maxima and Ramon where complicated
for their age.

 By all means; Angel/Annhell and the King of Fighters are trademarks 
from the almighty SNK, now know as SNK NEO GEO; also, all the content
of this guide is meant for only free and unconditional use; any miss
usage of the info contained in this guide or in its similars will
eventually mean the cease of the walking capabilities -by my hand, of 
course- and/or will bring legal issues upon the conspirator, that 
has unagreeded these conditions and has used these info for profitable 
issues or/and used the info without requesting it or without given due 
credit... Defy these conditions and you will just rub me on the wrong
way...

 By all means imitation is not a way of admiration or praising one's
efforts.

 Funny thing; Annhell is from Mexico and as far as I know she does not
speak Spanish on her moves or either on the game itself...

 On the story of the game itself I can say that Angel is very much in 
love of K9999; or so does it seem, because she is very much supporting
to K9999, you will see, it is my understanding that K9999 is enraged
becuase of his looks; he thinks that people miss respect him becuase he
looks extrange and he is always comparing himself to K' afirming that he
is better; Angel always come up with phrases like "you are better 
looking" and "you are stronger".

 It does not matter if it is love or frienship; K9999 is always rude and
impolite to Angel, though he hangs around with her most of the time 
showing that at his very unconventional way he see her as a friend.

 She has special quotes over K999, over K', Maxima & Whip and over the
Korea Team. I don't know about the special intros, but they seem to be
just like KoF '2000 Kula's intro; I mean, dialog change and only when
the characters is starting the match (may be first character or may be
that the opponent defeated other character and she has reached them).



***********************************************************************
- Moves: Normal Moves.

 + As far as I know, there are only two normal moves that deserve a
special mention; the others are named by their obvious uselfulness:

 crouching C
   * This will make Annhell perform a swinging punch; this move is a
     little bit similar to Maxima's CD; in the way that is a little
     slow and she will swing her hands covering most of her body; the
     sweet threat is that this move will knock the enemy high up and
     will allow you move attacks while the enemy is on the air.

 jumping C
   * I have only tested with high jumping front; if she can make it 
     with any other kind of jump, I don't know, but this attack will 
     make Annhell perform and elbow; the thing to notice is the this 
     attack will not hit an enemy in front of her; but it is specially
     suited for cross ups; just like Iori's jumping b + B.

 far standing D
   * This kick is Annhell best anti-air; only the most prioritary 
     attacks will knock you out of this.

 far standing C
   * Quick, long range move; really good to annoy people and general
     pocking.

 crouching B
   * If the enemy gets TOO DAMN CLOSE remember that weak attacks are
     faster than strong attacks.


***********************************************************************
- Moves: Throws.

Go Go Futen Girl                          close to opponent, b or f + C
 * Annhell will perform a quick and small chain on the enemy.


Starlit Field                             close to opponent, b or f + D
 * Annhell will teleport behind the enemy and perform a quick and small
   chain on the victim.


***********************************************************************
- Moves: Command Moves.

Senseless Chatter                          f + B
 * Annhell will perform a two hit kick, nothing special about it as
   far as I know, cancelable on both hits..


Art the Wasteland                          in air, d + D 
 * This woman will attack with her knees while she is on the air; this
   move can be comboed after a jumping A; making two hits on the air.


***********************************************************************
- Moves: Special Moves.

Formalist Blue                             df + B
 * Angel will perform a kick that must be blocked low; this move
   may be followed with "Chain Circle Start Moves"; this move is
   quick enough to combo from a C or D; but not as quick to combo
   from a A or B.


Red Sky of Yaponesia                       Hcb + K
  * Angel will run foward; if the enemy is not blocking she will 
    perform a throw on them; this move can be blocked, has good 
    recovery time, is quick as hell, can hit on the air but it does 
    small damage. I like to use this move to go under my enemy when
    he is jumping.


Mad  Roulette				   close to opponent, Rup + K
  * Annhell will hold the enemy and then kick them on the air; you may
    attack afterwards; as far as I have noticed, this throw comes out
    a little bit slow, similar to Xiang Fei's Hcb, Fwd + P.


Repun Kamui                                Qcb + P
  * This move will make this sweety to give a powerful blow on the
    enemy stomach; this move has small range and is a little slow; yet
    it's C version produces "Guard Crush" and can be followed with any 
    of the "Chain Circle Moves", yummy. The C version leave the enemy
    standing and the A version will knock them down; yet the next moves
    have the posibility to hit because the enemy is left vulnerable.


Beyond the Flames                          Hcf + K
  * This move will force Angel to teleport foward at not so great speed; 
    the thing is that this teleport may be followed with any of the
    "Chain Circle Moves".... Here is how the move works: while Angel
    is running perform and "Chain Circle Moves"; and she will do it 
    while she is running... If you do naught this move will act like
    Rock's Howard Qcb + D.
 
    Now if you do Hcf+k, then right before she teleports near her 
    opponent do one of the "Chain Circle Moves", if done correctly one 
    of two  things will happen...
 
    1. If your opponent blocks... Angel will not teleport behind, but 
       instead hit the opponent with something that looks like a 
       teleport, then she will do the chain circle move that was input.
 
    2. If your opponent does not block, Angel will "hit" the opponent 
       with the teleport and will appear behind the opponent, then she 
       will do the chain circle move that was input.

       * Tricky; Huh??? 


***********************************************************************
Moves: "Chain Circle Starters".

 + Note that these moves are available after the df + B *

 Welcome to Rogue                          A or C
   * On this Annhell will perform a quick punch; note that this move 
     does combo after the df + B.


 Citizen of the World                      B or D
   * Using this Annhell will perform an axe kick on the foe; note that
     this move is not quick enough to combo after the df + B; but it
     is an overhead.

 + Note that these moves may be "chained" into any of the "Chain Circle
   Moves" 


***********************************************************************
Moves: "Chain Circle Moves".

 + Note that these moves are available after any "Chain Circle 
Starters", the Qcb + P or the Hcf + K.

 + Also do note that all of this moves can be Chained with other moves
of this section; enlarging the total of hits of the Chain; for example
you could do:

 A formalist Blue, a Chain circle Starter, a Chain circle move, a Chain
circle move and a Chain circle and a Chain circle finisher...

 This is only one example, but it is clear; there are some restrictions
to these rules, for example you can do:

 Qcb + C, d + C; since the d + C can be Chained into a u + D, chain it;
the u + D can be Chained into a d + C; but since you used that Chain 
once it will be unavailable for the time being... even with these rules
you can build up some long hitting Chains, not only for strategical 
purposes, but to combo as well.


Bye-bye Rogue                              u + P
   * Annhell will give a quick hook... this move is quick enough to
     combo a funny thing of this move is that after it you can access
     the "Train to see Cherry Blossoms", the "Important Symptom", the
     Buggy and Coffin" moves; but not any of the "Chain Circle 
     Finishers".

Shelter from the Storm                     u + K
   * Angel gives a quick standing kick; this move is quick enough to
     combo; after this move you can access the "Important Symptom"
     and the "With a Lamp for the Pathway", but not any of the "Chain
     Circle Finishers".

A Train to see Cherry Blossoms             d + P
   * Angel will throw a quick low punch; this move is not only
     quick enough to combo; but it is a sweep, after this move you can
     access the "Shelter from the Storm", "With a Lamp for the Pathway"
     and any of the "Chain Circle Finishers".

 
Important Symptom                          d + K
   * Angel hops forward a bit and does a low kick...must be blocked 
     low and doesn't combo, after this move you can access the
     "Buggy and Coffin", the "Bye-bye Rouge" or any of the "Chain Circle
     Finishers".


Buggy and Coffin                           f + P
   * Annhell will use a standing punch; though this move is not quick
     enough to combo, hits twice and it is an Overhead, after this move
     you can access the moves "Important Symptom", "Shelter from the
     Storm" & any of the "Chain Circle Finishers".


With a Lamp for the Pathway                f + K 
   * Angel will leap foward with a kick; this move it is not quick
     enough to combo and this move is an overhead; after this move you
     can access the moves "A train to see Cherry Blossoms", the
     "Bye-bye Rouge or any of the "Chain Circle Finishers".


 + Note that these moves may be chained into any of the "Chain Circle
Finishing Moves".


***********************************************************************
Moves: "Chain Circle Finishing Moves".

 + Note that these moves are available after any of the "Chain Circle 
Moves".


Crown under the Sky                        f,f + P
 * This move will make Annhell send the enemy to the sky; allowing many
   others follow ups; such as Hcb + K; this move is quick enough to
   combo.


State of Heathess                          f,f + K
 * This will make Annhell Spin while she gives a tree hit kick; this 
   move is an Overhead; I need to check out this; this move is not 
   quick enough to combo.


A Full-Moon Evening                        Qcb + P
 * Angel leaps back and does a REALLY big punch... this move hurts if
   it connects; it is kind of slow thus it is not quick enough to
   combo; but the taty thing is that this move can not be blocked.


Ride Your Cycle                            Hcf + K
 * Anhell teleports foward and hops on the opponent's back; she snap
   their neck; or so do it seems. A fact to take in consideration is
   that the enemy can avoid this even if the previous hit of the Chain
   successfuly connected; but the most important value for this move
   is that it leaves you behind the enemy.


Red Sky of Yaponesia                       Hcb + K
 * This is the exact Hcb + K that it you have without a chain.


A Garden to Play with Ghost                b,d,db + K
 * This will make Annhell grab the enemy with a very stylish throw; I
   have yet to check how this works; if the enemy must block the 
   previous attack; if the enemy must recibe the previous attack but 
   can not escape; of the enemy must recibe the previous attack and has
   the chance to escape... further inquiring is required; the problem 
   is that Annhell will give a "back hop" before using the throw; 
   making it hard to land; yet somewhat effective to run away.


***********************************************************************
UC Moves restrictions:
 + This section is mainly created by the work of Shinji_Ikari and his
extensive investigation work; I have notice that looking at this section
is a easier way to learn the maximun of posibilities that Angel can do
while she is performing her "Chain Circle Moves".
 Well; thanks Shinji-Ikari, my hat is rised to you.


==> I:

 This rule applies on the "Chain Circle Moves"; and it is only applied
if you DO want to extend the chains you are performing; in order to
enhance the posible combinations you can do, the rule itself points:

 " You MAY NOT cancel a punch move with another punch move or cancel
a kick move with another kick move; you MUST cancel a punch move with
a kick move and vice-versa"


==> II:

 Also applied to the "Chain Circle Moves", it's consist on:
   You can't input a Chain Circle Finisher after a Chain Circle Move 
that needs to press 'up', like the Bye-bye Rogue (u + P) or Shelter 
From The Storm (u + K). 
 You'll need to use at least another Chain Circle Move to have the 
possibility to use a Chain Circle Finisher. Although, you can use a 
Chain Circle Finisher right after all the others Chain Circle Moves 
(except those with the 'up' motion, as mentioned) that are: d + P, 
d + K, f + P or f + K.


==> Concluding:
   You can cancel an 'up' Chain Circle Move into a 'f' or 'd' Chain 
Circle Move; yet, a 'f' into a 'd' or 'up'; still, a 'd' into a 'f' 
or 'up' Chain Circle Move. If you use u + K, you can do f + P or 
d + P; so, if you choose to do f + P, after you can do d + K. Then, 
you can repeat this proccess to add more hits and confuse the enemy 
with the 'high-low game', but the next motion (in this exemple) must 
be an u + P, followed by f + K, followed by d + P!!!



 Now you can notice all the variations you can get mixing the 
commands (but respecting the rules you already learned). This 
results in a max of 48 different combinations (excluding the 
Chain Circle Finishers you can chose):


CCM = Chain Circle Move


*** 12 of them are started with the Repun Kamui (qcb + P): 

       - 6 if followed with a 'P' CCM
       - 6 if followed with a 'K' CCM

*** 12 of them are started with the Beyond The Flames (hcf + K): 

       - 6 if followed with a 'P' CCM
       - 6 if followed with a 'K' CCM

*** 24 of them are started with the Formalist Blue (df + K):
       * 12 if you follow with Welcome to Rogue (P):

            - 6 following with a 'P' CCM
            - 6 following with a 'K' CCM

       * 12 if you follow with Citizen of the World (K):

            - 6 following with a 'P' CCM
            - 6 following with a 'K' CCM


This is indeed; an art that craves to be mastered; but as the result
you can make this character very much unpredictable and mostly; FUN
to play; just yesterday I was laughing at the frustation face of my
foes when they didn't knew what the heck was going on. BWA JA JA JA
(Spanish laugh).

***********************************************************************
Moves: Desperation Moves.

The Unidentified Victim Consciousness      b, Upc + K
  * This DM is a counter attack; as far as I know; it will react 
    differently if it caught an air attack or an standing attack.

    - Standing attack: Anhell will perform a quick chain that will end
      up with the enemy on the air ready to recibe more attacks.

    - Air attack: Anhell will give tree powerful attacks on the 
      helpless victim... It is odd; but the last attack can miss.


Royalty Test for the Rebel                b, Upc + P
  * This move is a "Chain Circle Finishing Move"; so it must be 
    performed after any "Chain Circle Moves"...  this attack can be 
    blocked and is can be descrived as a "Ryuuko Ranbu"; and that, 
    if you do not know; is Ryo Sakazaki Multi hitting DM... Obviously; 
    this move is quick enough to combo from a successful hit of any
    "Chain Circle Moves".


***********************************************************************
Moves: MAX Desperation Moves.

Royalty Test for the Rebel                b, Upc + A + C
  * Same as the previous one; this move is a "Chain Circle Finishing 
    Move"; so it must be performed after any "Chain Circle Moves"... 
    this is only a powered up version of the normal one, it is also 
    quick enough to combo; otherwise it would not have any practical
    use.


***********************************************************************
Moves: Striker Action.

???
  * Annhell will perform Beyond the Flames; but she will not follow up
    with any of the chain circle follow ups; I mean, when she "hit" she
    will go behind the enemy leaving them open for attacks; but she 
    will not cause any damage.


-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Simple combos:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

 + Of course; most combos may be started from a jumping attack; or even 
   better; from her C cross up.

 ++ Note that in most of her Chain based combos you may use different
    attack; that is why I have given the work of listing what can combo
    or how must be blocked.

***********************************************************************
Anywhere:

 - cls C; fwd + B; Hcb + D.

 - cls C; df + D, C, d + C, ff + C; Hcb + D.

 - cls D, df + B, A, u + B, d + A, b, Upc + A.
    * b, Upc + A may be either normal or MAX version.

 - cls C; fwd + B (1 hit); df + D, C, u + A, d + C, ff + C; cls D.

 - cr C; [df + B], B, d + B, b, Upc + C.

 - cls D, df + B, A, u + B, d + A, f + B, u + A, d + B, f + A, Qcb + P
    * This combo is to catch the enemy off of their guard; because of
      the high-low game involved in this.

 + Striker King
 - cls D; fwd + B (1 hit); df + D, C, u + D, call King, d + C; King hits;
   Qcb + C; CD; [Qcb + C], d + D; b, Upc + C.
    * The CD hits and the Qcb + C is canceled in the d + K; that must
      leave the enemy standing.
       Thanks to Time Mage of the MMcafe for this one; though the combo
       he originally posted was longer *can't do it* >_<

 + Striker Vanessa, Ralf & Ryo
 - cls C; fwd + B (1 hit); df + B, A, u + B, d + C, call Vanessa, fwd + B,
   call Ryo, u + C, call Ralf; Ryo hits, d + B; Ralf hit; [Qcb + A],
   d + B, b, Upc + C.
    * Thanks to Chupiler for this one; though it is untested, I can tell
      it is a very long Chain of the Chain circle moves aided by the
      strikers.


***********************************************************************
Corner only:

 - cls D, df + B, A, u + B, d + A, ff + A, Enemy on the air, then
   Qcb + p, quickly cancel into u + A, f + B, ff + A...
   you may repeat from this.

     * Rei4eva: A semi infinite combo....hard to do...only been able to
                repeat the combo 3 times.

 - cr C, [df + B], B, Fwd + A, dn + B; Bk, Upc + A. 
       The Desperation move may be either normal or MAX version.


***********************************************************************
 + Notes on Chains: some moves are not quick enough to combo from the
   previous one; but that does not mean that the chain must stop there;
   for example if you use:

   - df + B, B, d + C, ff + C... you can be hit between the df + B 
     and the following B; but if that B connect the rest of the chain
     will connect too; that is the key of the high/low game.


-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Overall:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
 KoF '2001 is sweet, and this is a very good and complicated character
to play with; I did have a lot of fun... mainly because the guys over
there did not know how the chains worked or where blocked... so that
means this character will be a pain to someone that does not know her
gameplay...

 Remember that the time where old characters like Iori or Goro where
invincible are long gone along '98; characters like Maxima, Ramon. Whip
and MOSTLY Angel can leave a very mean quantity of "bodies"... just
takes a little of practice.

 Do not be discouraged by the fact that Angel may be suceptible to some
infinites combos; with practice you will Understand that Angel is one of
the most complete characters on the game and is tough as hell, not even
the legendary ninja with "the sailor moon slap", Lin has a sweet time
with a skilled Angel player; but she needs a little of understanding,
and that is what this guide is pursuing.

 KoF is looking more as AoF 3 as time passes and that's a good thing.


-----------------------------------------------------------------------
What's Needed:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
 Character Dialogs, by the way; Angel has 3 victory poses; but the only
difference is the dialog (puaj) the special ones are over K', Iori & 
Kyo.

 Moves that lack: I am sure that I may lack some Annhell moves...

 More complicated and complete combos... I will try to do this myself; 
but since from my city to KoF '2001 there is a long travel that I may 
not afford that oftenly and easily; so I would not mind help from 
contributions from the fans (lol).

 Of course, money, words, jokes, viruses, ASCII, contributions or 
ANYTHING may be sent to:

  el_baron_toxico@hotmail.com


 ... Adress that was stated at the begginning of the FAQ.

  One is my friend; the other one is my creation.


Rei4eva:
  Most of the combos; descriptions that where lacking, notes on the 
  moves; A LOT of them; THANKS A LOT!


Shinji_Ikari:
  For his EXTENSIVE research on the posible restrictions that the UC
  chains have... I did knew that they existed yet I was not willing to
  research about them  ;p. He also corrected some serious mistakes I 
  did have on the previous version.


Orochi K:
  For autorizing me to use the move names and the profile from his 
  KoF '2001 FAQ, thanks a lot!


Chupiler & Time Mage:
 Those persons aren't related in any way -except that they both posted
 combos for Angel on the MMcafe board-; combos that are now being used
 for the benefict of the world. Thanks for they unvoluntary help.


Mad Man's Cafe:
  For accepting me as I am, a raving loony.


Kao Megura:
  Well; he is in every FAQ that I have read... I could not break the 
  tradition... inspiration issues of course.
